It might not be the correct term, but my PT uses tiny needles and places them into my arm tendons (higher up). And then turns on electricity between the needles.
I know a lot of serious athletes swear by it and I definitely feel the effects.
It's hard to describe the sensation it doesn't hurt too much (though tapping into tight areas does hurt a bit). You can feel the change in how the tendon/whatever passes current when connected.
Like at first when really tight the finger doesn't really twitch but after a bit when it releases it goes wild.
Afterwards I'm weak for the afternoon and then feel looser after. I might equate it to an intenseness massage or Myofascial release treatment but highly specific for my inside the arm tendons.
I recommend it, but I would think only with an actual Doctorate PT.
